How to Create Your Dream Board
“Creation, in its infinite nature, will continually seek to emerge through you in infinite ways. So there will always be more within you yet to be expressed.”
– Michael Bernard Beckwith
Creating Your Intuitive Dream Board
You are ready to create your intuitive dream board. The first video will provide simple step-by-step instruction for you to follow. You can view the video once in its entirety and then begin your dream board or you can pause the video after each step and then resume when you are ready. The next video will describe the process of decoding your intuitive dream board so that you can understand the wisdom being presented.
Happily, like life, you can’t do this process wrong! Trust in the perfection of your process.

Your Intuitive Dream Board Revelations
As I mentioned in the video, your mind will first create a first level “story” about the visuals — their meaning and their connection to one another. There may be several mini-stories in one dream board, each with it’s own theme or message. Or there may be one big story with a central message or direction.
Accept this first level story as being correct. It relates directly to your life experiences, dream and desires. It reflects that which is on the surface of your conscious mind and most easily accessed. Deeper levels of awareness will come as you focus on your dream board for many days or even weeks and months. I’ve had dream boards more than a year old suddenly communicate a whole new meaning to me that is particularly helpful to a whole new situation. We tend to see surface meanings. It’s only with continued curiosity and a repeated examination that we see more and more. It’s like watching a movie the second time and seeing all the things you missed the first time.
Your dream board is your unique masterpiece
Stay open to new revelations and insights. When you get attached to the first level story and think “that’s all there is,” you create a limited mental environment. Appreciate the first level meaning and stay curious to what more there is to know.
The process of understanding your dream board is an individual one. One client meditates on the meaning of her board to invite additional revelations. Some people will experience new insights after having “slept on it” for a night. So much of our genius lies in our subconscious and it can take a little while for that information to rise to the conscious level. I had one client who kept saying, “I’m not getting it!” for weeks only to have a huge flash of insight suddenly a month later. The entire meaning came to her clearly and powerfully! Frustration is a block of born expectation. Release expectation and allow grace to happen. Don’t judge your process. You are doing it exactly right.
The kind opinions of others
This process is a way to develop faith in your own powerful wisdom. Don’t rely too heavily on the opinions of others. Graciously accept their input about what they are seeing. If something resonates, consider whether it feels “on target.” Otherwise, be aware that often what they are “seeing” is more a reflection of their own life than an insight into you or your life. Also, others, especially friends and family who care for us, often want to see something particular in our boards (For example, the mother who dearly wants to see the perfect guy coming into view for her daughter). That can get you off track from the real message being gifted to you. Trust your ability to receive. Trust your ability to know.
Finally, your dream board is about you. It’s not about someone else (although other people or group activity will show up since we don’t live, or desire to live, in isolation). You are the star – your energy, your on-the-verge manifestation, your future.
Be sure to give yourself some time to digest the visual elements of your dream board. It’s normal for it to take your subconscious mind a bit of time to process this experience and to bring innovative insights to the surface of your conscious mind.
To guide you through your 1st level dream board “story” and 2nd level revelations, answer the following questions:
- Where does your dream board start? Which visual seems to be visual #1?
- In what direction does your dream board story proceed? Top to bottom? Bottom to top? Left to right? Right to Left? Perhaps it moves in a circle? Let your intuition and first inclination lead you.
- Start by describing what is pictured. What drew you to a particular picture? Voice the basics that pop into your mind.
- What is your first level story? This story usually relates to your current life in the most obvious way — it may relate to your current interests, a known focus, your current perspective and desires, or top-of-mind goals, etc.
- What is your second reading of your dream board. After a day or after several days to week, come back to your dream board and see if you have any new insights. Even if you aren’t seeing anything new immediately. Stand in front of your dream board and simply ask “What new can I know?” Trust that additional insights will arise to your conscious mind.
Enjoy your radiant vision!
